New Enhanced Player Profile

Hello again, players! Remember that poll we ran last year? We asked you what we could add to the site to enhance your user experience. Well, I took some elements from the three choices given in the poll and have created a new, enhanced version of the Player Profile.

Before, you could only check your results for a given month. Now, when you go to your new profile, a new left side menu will show up with links to all months starting in 2012. Each month has a value next to it that tells the number of games you scored in that month. We also added a graph showing a player's point accumulation per month. Lastly, on the 'Detailed View' table, each date now links to the full game results for that event.

We hope you guys enjoy these new features and please provide feedback about what else we could add to make it even better! To check it out, fill out your name below and click go to profile!

Event Cancellations

There will be no more games on Mondays at Quaker Steak and Wednesdays at Cozzy's Comedy Club. This is due to the lack of purchases made by players at these locations. Remember that even though it is free to play, the league depends on the purchasing power of our players to be able to keep these locations.

We will not be playing at 3rd Base Deli either. They were bought out and will be closing.

We are currently running our Ace of Spades Jackpot in certain areas/events. For most events, minimum 10 players at FIRST game are required, then the winner of the SECOND game(had to play first game) will draw from the TD's special deck for the ACE OF SPADES to win the jackpot! You can also draw 1 of 2 jokers to win the nightly prize. If someone ineligible wins game 2, we still will add $10 to the jackpot, as long as there are 10 players at least in game 1.

As the jackpot grows, the number of dummy cards decrease, increasing your odds to win! Currently, we are doing this at:

-ALL Smithfield locations (should be around $250).

-ALL Portsmouth games.

-ALL METRO games.

-RJ's on both nights(must have 16 here, but at 32 people, we will add $25!).

-Lido/Primetime in Norfolk.

-Jax/Froggies in Virginia Beach (should be around $80).
